Mowed and then greased the mower deck, plus the zerk for the treadle pedal in the floorboard.

Had it a while now, but if you have a Milwaukee M18 tool kit, I highly recommend their grease gun with the Lock-n-Lube coupler.

Yeah. Look like they could be brothers. Mine is a German Shorthair mix. Great dog. Was supposed to be a hunting dog, but he's way too much of a softy. just wants to play and cuddle all day. He's a good boy.
Love GSP's I have had a few, just a couple mixed breed rescues now. Always wanted to have a drahthaar with their bushy face hair!

When you use the plate compactor on that stone, how long does that usually hold up for? I know depends on how much you drive/turn on it but in general. Does it just give a smoother surface or do you think that helps prevent pothole / low area formation also? I've always wondered
It does give a nice firm surface, but the turning or tire slipping when starting out will certainly cause the pothole opportunity(s).
There are basically three layers to the parking spot I built:
1st: 2-4 Rip Rap (Tailings) to give a firm base locking into the existing dirt/rock
2nd: Fill....which the owner arranged....not my standard, but it's his property, and he went with material I thought was from a abandoned wrecking yard! Horrible stuff. I usually use pit-run stuff, compactable, and usually nothing toxic for the ground.
3rd: Either 1.25 minus or 5/8 minus about 4-6 inches thick compacted.

Driveway extension project is getting under way with some "helper" machines to do the heavy lifting. I haven't run a skiddie in so long it's like starting over. With the pilot controls, I feel like I'm in the mini-ex but the sticks don't do the same thing! Hopefully I can get the hang of it quickly.

A couple of days ago used the fel to load my tiller on the gentleman's pickup. Craigslist :). He drove in from RI and I think he will get a lot of fine use from it on his farm.
Today was the grapple's turn. I moved a large rock from the woods to the top of our driveway. Its more of a deterrent than a landscape feature. Too many trucks clip the curb and my landscape edging. Just tired of repairing the edging.

A little more progress made today. This shot was from earlier in the day. The cut is quite a bit deeper now. Should have the cut done tomorrow and road fabric installed. Monday, #3's should be here. I want to get this finished before the next rain later in the week.

Neighbor loading millings from his "stash". Fortunately, he's a couple hundred yards away and has access to something a bit larger than the Kubota. ;)

Kubota BX1870, FEL, BX5450 Snowblower, back blade, customized snow cab
This morning at 6:30am I looked out onto a white lawn! Frost not snow thankfully. I am ready for snow I guess. Yesterday I stored the FEL inside the back of the barn, got the snowblower on and lubed it up. As the whole BX1870 was new to me a couple of months ago I had to do some trial and error to get the blower attached. I didn’t know which hydraulic ports to attach the blower’s lift to and the adapter and blower’s short PTO shaft was separated in the middle so I tried to put the blower on and line up the square shafts at the same time..... no go. When I put them together before installing the blower I had better luck. The rest was easy. Now I need to adjust the skid shoes to get the scraper off the ground by a bit, mount a tool holder for a couple of wrenches and toss in the spare shear bolts I bought. The manual rotate handle was not smooth at all so I applied zinc based anti seize compound to the gears. I hope that works in snow.

I used to have the same problem with the snowblower PTO shafts and the reason it is difficult to align is that they appear to be square, but in reality, they are rectangular. I used a file to cut a notch into both mating halves, so when I need to align them, I just matched up the two notches and it went together smoothly. Don't forget to lubricate and adjust the chain on the snowblower. I had been using chain bar oil for many years, and recently a neighbor told me that he uses "fluid film" on his snowblower chain as well as his motorcycle chain and that it works well. He is the only person to mention this, so I have no idea of how well it actually works over time.

Ordered a Woodland Mills WG24 stump grinder Tuesday hoping to get it by mid- November.

It arrived Friday. Had time to put it in the shop but didn’t anticipate being able to put it together and try it out for a couple of weeks.

Had just enough time Sunday afternoon to get it set up and try it out on one stump before it got dark. Took about 10 minutes to take out a stump in the middle of the road to the shed. If I knew what I was doing wouldn’t have taken that long but for being first time I used it, it went well, I think. I was very pleased.

Now I just need to put some casters on the shipping pallet to make a storage dolly for it. 🙂

I added some non-slip material to the steel door bottom edges of my BX23S with the Curtis Deluxe Cab. Almost fell last winter when getting out of the cab with snow on my boots.
